St Helens Sports Community Network – Next Event at Target Fitness CIC
Target Fitness is run by Dan, a personal trainer and former Legionnaire soldier whose journey is a powerful example of resilience and determination. After sustaining a major operational injury — including a broken back, broken neck and serious damage to his left leg — Dan spent nine months in a hospital bed followed by six months of intensive rehabilitation. His lived experience of overcoming adversity now shapes the inclusive, supportive ethos at Target Fitness CIC.
This event continues our commitment to rotating Community Sports Network meetings across different community-based sporting venues throughout the St Helens borough. By doing so, we aim to give members the opportunity to experience a wide range of local facilities, connect with grassroots organisations, and better understand the diverse sporting and wellbeing offers available within our communities.
We look forward to welcoming network members to Target Fitness CIC for what promises to be an inspiring and informative session, rooted in community, collaboration and shared learning.
If your organisation supports sport, physical activity, or community wellbeing in any way, we’d love you to join us—your voice is important.
